We took 5th overall. GaSo took 10th. As bad as our winter and spring was overall we still did better than GaSo. There is that.



I'll try and add some thoughts here over the next day or two. There is a lot of stats in all the sheets beyond the actual Bubas Cup points. Some numbers look better for us than others. Though no matter how one looks at the numbers we really did do better than GaSo.

For those that want to look a bit closer at the Bubas Cup numbers.

Look at the Bubas Cup tab for total points. (App was 5th overall)

This is the official Bubas Cup that matters. It does help to offer more SB sponsored sports.

Different sports give more/less points for each sport depending on the number of schools competing in that particular sport. You can also find average points for only the sponsored sports and an average for all SB sports (which will be lower for every school except App State since every other school does not sponsor all 18 SB sports.) I don't think average points per sports is very meaningful since winning Men's Soccer could hurt an average and is worse that coming in 5th place in Football, volleyball, baseball and a few more sports. (App State had the 8th best average points per sport sponsored. Of course we sponsor all 18 sports. App State was 5th overall for average points per SB sport sponsored.)

The sports by season tab is just that. One can see the slow slide from 1st to 5th overall for App State. That is not my favorite tab on the spreadsheet. (App State did the best in the fall and fell off in the winter and even more so in the spring given the number of sports in the spring. (1st to 7th in the winter to 10th in the spring. Ugh.)

I also break out Men's and Women's sports in yet a different tab. I should do a break-out by gender and season for a bit more focused look. Maybe next year. (Our Women did much better than our men did this year. Both genders have 9 SB sports but the women's sports tend to offer a few more points. But that was not the difference entirely.)

Unity points is my way of making all sports have the same value. Total unity points is also helped by offering more sports of course, but I also have averages for only sports sponsored and also an average across all 18 sports much as I do for the actual Bubas points tab. (8th when only averaging unity points per sponsored sport. 5th when averaging all 18 SB sports.) Our .525 unity point average meant we averaged in the top half in every sport-5th place. GaSo had an unity average of .433 of just the sports they sponsored which would be like averaging 6th place in every sport. They are even worse if one considers the sports they don't bother sponsoring.

More than a few ways to see how things were going for your school.

One column I need to include next year would be percent of points earned compared to points available. That would be similar to averages but it would factor out the unequal weights of different sports in a similar but different manner than unity points would.

Thank you McLeansville App for all of dedicated time you put into this information.

I am a numbers guy and this is giving me a chance to use Google Docs. Win-win. But thanks for the kind words. Glad it is appreciated.
